I grow jelly vines Cyclea barbata the real deal with the fuzzier leaves. I also grow yanang vine that is used in bamboo curries and they are not genuine jelly vines like some literature says.Cyclea barbata grows and fruits prolifically in a warm climate.

I can give you some cuttings if you'd like, mine is growing out of control.Probably around 6-7 feet tall, lots of dieback, the top canopy is health and lush.With a cutting I'm sure you can get it to root very rapidly as they're quite invasive.I grow mine in a container, kept on the patio. I'll send you pictures just PM me.It's the smooth skin variety, no fuzz.

Where do you all get your pandan? I see a local nursery sell it but they looked small for $20.Anyway, I see that the black jelly plant seeds are available in the US now. Mesona chinensis. I'm not sure if that seller is reliable.

my sister got it from local farmers market in SF 3yrs ago that's about 2inchs. Now, it's 2feet tall. i am separating & transplanting the little new babies to make more plants. I got two huge plants died in unheated greenhouse. they don't like cold.

I recommend if you have some extra resources to keep the pandan in an insulated container or aquarium with an aquarium heater.Pandans love heat and water, why not give them the best of both worlds.I'm doing that right now with a smaller pandan, seems to be doing ok so far, considering how cold it has been here lately, mid 30's.

I've had mine in a 5 gallon flat pot, soaked in warm water all year long without issues.Just not the entire plant submerged in water that would definitely kill the plant.The warm wet feet basically absorbs into the soil as needed, being warm is even better.3-4 inches of water at the foot of the pot, with a titanium heater set at 60-70 degrees.

Not going to lie but oh my got man...Pandan waffles are the best waffles in the world fresh!You know, those green waffles you get from the Asian markets after you stuff your face with a bowl of pho hahaha!

Waxy,Thanks for dropping by with the jelly vines. Sorry I missed you and not able to give you the title baby pandan. Next time you head to SF, drop by to pick up the pandan. I agree with you in regards to planting the plant in water with just the roots wet. I am currently planting the little babies in a small pot, and putting the put in a glass vase with half the pot submerge in water. It is doing fine inside the house.

ah yes, it's fresh wood chips which I am using as mulching for the backyard. It is heated and smoking from the inside naturally. It's sort of good for the tropical trees as it helps keep it warn this winter. I ran out of space in the backyard and started to creep into the front yard, then slowly into the driveway. Still, it is not enough space. I'm doing lots of banana, guava,cherimoya, mango. I can give you a tour if you're passing by again.
